FOR THE 2016 VINTAGE – 2 1/2 STARS
This is a solid producer of fine red and white Cotes-du-Rhone, certified biodynamic. The 2016 white is lovely with aromas of white flowers (think jasmine, honeysuckle), an appealing waxy texture, and flavors reminiscent both of familiar orchards and more exotic tropical fruits. Enjoy this by itself or with broiled seafood dishes. ABV: 13.5 percent.
